STAND. COM. REP. NO. 163

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: H.B. No. 1069

H.D. 1

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2021

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Higher Education & Technology, to which was referred H.B. No. 1069 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE HAWAII CANCER RESEARCH SPECIAL FUND,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to change the semi-annual reporting requirement to the Legislature on the monies in the Hawaii Cancer Research Special Fund to an annual report.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from University of Hawaii Cancer Center.

Your Committee finds that annual reporting for the Hawaii Cancer Research Special Fund will reduce the administrative burden while maintaining legislative oversight similar to that of other non-general funds.

Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the effective date to July 1, 2060, to encourage further discussion.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Higher Education & Technology that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1069, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1069, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Finance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Higher Education & Technology,
